View detailsCasual, permanent or emergency, what is the difference?
Casual bookings
Book different days from week to week, subject to availability. Perfect when your work pattern changes or you only need care now and then.
Permanent bookings
Hold the same days every week and secure your child's place. The simplest option for families with a steady routine.
Emergency bookings
Short notice cover when your usual arrangement falls through. Call us and we will find the earliest session we can.
How sessional booking works with the Child Care Subsidy
The Child Care Subsidy is paid as a percentage of the fee for each session, up to up to 95% for many families. Because Kindoo charges by the session rather than a flat day, the fee the subsidy is calculated on is only ever for the hours you booked.
In practice that means less out of pocket for families who do not need a full eleven hour day. Our team helps you get set up with Centrelink so the subsidy applies from your first session.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change my days week to week?
Casual bookings let you pick different days each week, subject to availability. Permanent bookings hold a fixed weekly pattern for you. Many families run a permanent base and add casual days when they need them.
Is casual care more expensive?
Casual sessions are charged at a casual rate, while permanent bookings secure your place at a set weekly pattern. Both attract the Child Care Subsidy of up to 95%, so the out of pocket difference is usually small. Our fees page has the detail.
How far ahead can I book?
Permanent placements can be arranged well in advance, and casual days can often be booked close to the date if there is a vacancy. For emergency cover, call us and we will find the earliest available session.
